So let's quickly wrap this up by talking about how I got the final look!

As my skin is really bad right now and has quite a strange color tone (in terms that I don't normally have this skin tone), I mixed two foundations that I quite like (but I prefer the Maybelline one) to achieve the perfect shade and give a nice, even look to my complexion. For the rest, do I even have to explain what I did with concealer and powder? I then used the cream stick to contour my face and topped the whole thing off by using my beloved Hoola bronzer. To give my face even more dimension, I used a highlighter on the high points of my face (cheekbones, nose, brow bone, upper lip).

After my foundation, I used Alien all over my lid and blended it out. For my crease, I used the KIKO shade, trying to blend it out in a sort of V-shape in the outter corners of my eyes. I then used the last mentionned shadow by Catrice to give my lower lash line some definition. To finish my eye look off, I used two different mascaras on my upper lash line, and a little on my outter, bottom lash line.

As you probably recognized already if you have looked at my other makeup looks aswell, I'm quite lazy in terms of brows, as I only use my tinted gel by Maybelline, and that's it.

Then, I went in with a lipliner to contour and fill my lips in before using Angel in the center of my lip and Brave on the outter corners, blending both colors out nicely so that no harsh lines can be seen.
